2012 FedEx 400 Coverage – Network: FOX
The FedEx 400 defending champion is Matt Kenseth (Current Dover FedEx 400 Odds: 9.50 to 1 at SportBet Sportsbook). Kenseth has had quite the interesting last 18 races here in Dover. He has 13 Top 10 finishes, but he also has four DNFs in those 18 runs. It’s quite interesting to say the least, as there aren’t any drivers that have that many Top 10 finishes in the last 18 races at Dover, but there are none of the serious contenders that have more DNFs either. Is this a good sign or a bad sign? We tend to think that this is going to be a man to watch for sure, especially knowing that Kenseth has six Top 5 finishes in the 12 races this year.

The man that has the best history here in Dover of late is Carl Edwards (Dover FedEx 400 Lines: 9 to 1 at SportBet Sportsbook). Granted, Edwards only has one win in the last 15 races here at Dover, but he has an average finishing position of 7.7, making him the only serious driver that has an average of a Top 10 finish on this track. There are a heck of a lot of other drivers that have a ton of Top 10 finishes, but Edwards having 11 Top 10s in 15 tries is quite the feat. Of course, this year, consistency has been a major problem for Edwards. He is in the Chase for the Sprint Cup at the moment, but he is dangerously close to the cut off line. Still, this might be the track that Edwards gets over the top and gets back on track in the 2012 season.
But of course, the man that has the best shot of winning this race on Sunday in all likelihood is the favorite, Jimmie Johnson (Odds To Win FedEx 400: 9 to 1 at SportBet Sportsbook). The No. 48 is trying to get back in the saddle as one of the top contenders in the Sprint Cup after finally getting knocked off of his pedestal last year, and he is doing a great job doing so. JJ only has one win this year at the Bojangles Southern 500, but he also won the NASCAR Sprint Cup All-Star Race. He has just one finish outside of the Top 12 since the season-opening race at the Daytona 500, and that was a DNF at the Aaron’s 499. Johnson has been on a fantastic run, and he just loves running at Dover International Speedway, where he has four victories over the course of his last 13 races on this track. No driver has these types of accolades here at Dover.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup points leader right now is Greg Biffle (FedEx 400 Betting Odds: 9 to 1 at SportBet Sportsbook). Biffle won this race in 2005, and he has a win this year at the Samsung Mobile 500 this year. Sure, Biffle really hasn’t been winning a ton of races, but to see all of these Top 10 finishes makes it hard to ignore just how great of a racer he really is. Save for the Capital City 400, Biffle has finished 13th or better in every single race this year, and for as long as this stays the case, there is no reason not to want to back him on the NASCAR betting lines on a weekly basis.
